Glow Panel LED 45w vs CFL 160w for 18x18 and 2x2 - LED Grow Lights - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

45 watt grow panel or 160 watts CFL?

is the 45 watt grow panel sufficient to cover an are of 2.25 - 4 square feet (18x18" to 2'x2') .... and run through Bloom? reveiws on dealer site says "barely enough to cover a 2x2" ...

has anyone bloomed in low foot print with a GlowPanel 45w (not GROWpanel) ??
how was the density and yield?

Am i better off just running the CFL? literally 10x cheaper and easier to do....
but i really want the low energy and low heat.....
but can the GlowPanel actually make decent bud? or am i gonna get 1/2 oz of fluff?

a new 175 MH bulb is 10-$15 ... a nice bulb with highest output, or the HPS150 conversion bulbs, are like $60-70 each.... for the cost of 2 bulbs i could buy one of the 45wGlow Panels....

my $10 bulbs put out 13000 lumens and the expensive ones put on 15 (the hps conversion bulb)... however the HPS arc-tube is elongated vs MH stubby ... which does visibly change light spread. MH has super hot spot cause of that fatty shape.

how many lumens does a Glow45 give? i just read lumens arent even an equal comparison so wtf lol....

Lol no chance. I've got 50w of led light output (not of power draw like commercial units claim ) in 1sqft and I still only use that in combination with a 70w hps.

45w commercial led = decent pc or nano grow.
